Only let in students, staff was very rude. I’m trying to drink to escape so I don’t kill myself and get told I can’t come in cause I’m not in college.
Started going to the "Hawk" in fall 1982. Drinking age at that time was 18 for 3.2% beer. It was a beer only joint back then. I was there for just about every Thursday barrel night.......which meant I usually missed my Friday morning classes. The place has changed a lot since the 1980's. I have many fond memories of my visits to the Hawk. Wish I could go back in time and live it all over again.

would give a zero if i could, im 21 and wanted to enjoy a drink with my friends who are still in college but i was not allowed even with cops out front because i did not have an id for a college. i should not get penalized for not being in college when im trying to take off from my 7:30-6 and enjoy my weekend

They let in minors who will falsely accuse people of crimes they didn’t commit
Bartender signed my receipt for me and left himself a tip.

Worst experience with the service, atmosphere. This is that one place you shouldn't try to explore in lawrence. We were not allowed inside the 2nd time even after paying the cover charge. The bouncers(students) were being ignorant upon asking for a valid reason. Don't waste your money or time here.

disturbing lack of food and drink at this so called “cafe” ??
Bouncers are nice guys. Plenty of places inside to party and explore. Fun college bar experience. One of the places to be seen!
I was trying to order a drink for 20 minutes and the bartender took everyone’s drinks except mine then proceeded to make and drink his own drink in front of me. I was slightly inebriated and said some stuff to him which of course got me kicked out but it was worth it because the place was lame. In conlusion tho, I mostly just dislike the virgin bartender in the back. But if your like 17 and using some fake form of identification to try and go to a bar this is the place for you.
I’d rather drink at Applebees on the Paseo.

Be careful! Met my wife here ten years ago in the boom.
If you're looking for a college bar full of student life, this is the place for you. The 'Hawk' is a favorite among KU students. Cover is typically $5 but the drinks are fairly priced once inside. For those visiting, this is primarily a student bar; you won't find many people here over the age of 25. The bar is usually crowded and the bathrooms are usually dirty as a result. Don't wear white shoes unless you don't mind them being stained when it's time to go home.
The doorman that they call "The Gergler" is one hell of an employee! nothing but great vibes at this establishment! Classy place.
